Emilio Coia

Emilio Coia

Emilio Coia - born 13 April, 1911 in Glasgow, Scotland, son of an Italian immigrant.Trained as an artist, he made his name in London in the early 1930s as a widely published caricaturist.

He had a long period of work in advertising, before, during and after the Second World War before returning to the newspaper business, initially in Glasgow but later for the Edinburgh-published "The Scotsman". This led to a long and mutually-beneficial association with the Edinburgh Festival.

He contributed also to the early days of independent television in Scotland - talking entertainingly on a wide range of subjects and producing caricatures and sketches on live TV programmes.He was widely and deservedly honoured and acclaimed for his work, wit and warmth.He died June 17, 1997 in the city of his birth.
